Description Aneurin Price 2009-02-01 14:18:07 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The Oxygen window decoration has no option to close a window by double-clicking its menu button, which has made me realise that that's a feature I'm used to using dozens of times per day, and I really miss it now it's gone.

Plastik has the option, but it doesn't appear to work (plus Plastik doesn't integrate well stylistically with the rest of the Oxygen theme).

Is this a feature that's simply been overlooked, or intentionally dropped for some reason?

Simply overlooked.

No eta on a fix

I must say I'm very confused about this wish (but I mean no offense :-))
what's the point of closing a window by double-clicking on the menu icon, while you could just simple-click on the close button. 

Also I find it very confusing (and actually not so easy to implement, which is probably why its broken in plastik) that double clicking on a button (that opens a menu with single click) results in a completely unrelated (and quite dangerous, in this precise case) action. 

Did I miss something ?
I would rather be inclined _not_ to implement this feature. Or is there a specific use-case that I ovelooked ?

I don't really see why you find that less intuitive than clicking on a different button in the title bar to close the window, and I hate having a button which can close a window accidentally just by single-clicking, especially when its default location is immediately adjacent to a non-destructive button.

Most importantly, this feature has always worked in KDE in the past, so it's a regression, it works in most WMs, and it's worked in Windows since the dawn of time, and needless UI differences cause frustration when switching between platforms - which I do a couple of times a day.
